Jones is inheriting a similar situation to the one Powell did in 2011. A mixed playing squad, largely full of players he may not want to keep around for next season and maybe can’t play the way he’ll want them to. Let’s be patient and not get on his back. The rest of this season is a free hit. Keep us up, build for next season.

Got to love Curtis Fleming. His latest interview just posted on the OS is a gem. He also alludes to a new coach coming in. I hope Jones finds a role for him. He’s the sort we used to build this club on.

Except we were in the play-off positions when SCP took over not hovering precariously above the relegation places so not quite a free hit for the rest of the season - needs to get us out of the relegation mire PDQ.
Other then maybe the likes of Fraeye all Charlton managers have had support of the fans early, even Appleton was very briefly having his name sung by the Covered End.
We will need a new manager bounce though as a poor start could easily see us heading down to the fourth tier which even if the new team in the dugout was Curbs, Powell & Jackson would struggle to keep any but the rosiest glassed fans happy.
The support base not on forums, you’d imagine, will be very excited by this. Overall feeling on this thread seems positive too. It’s punchy for L1, on paper.
I’m concerned that way back in this thread @bobmunro was a firm no, and given the position he held - he would know. (Apologies, Bob if I’ve misinterpreted).
I will retain an open mind, we need some stability and a properly supported manager. I really hope this is it with jones. Sensible to keep him out for Derby.

Could be worth a punt when you need something to lean on...🙄
I read that and thought he sounds like one of those crazy holier than thou ultra religious types who have absolutely no idea what makes people who aren't religious tick, largely because they themselves believe in a 2000 year old book of fairy stories.

Absolutely spot on, he needs full backing for the rest of this season and into next….no way on earth were we gonna attract anyone better than him
added bonus that he’s been in and around our academy before

We're severely in the brown stuff and am not sure he is a Warnock type to grab people by the scruff of the neck.
I can see us going down then it will be interesting to see how things develop. I reckon he'll have a clause reading left by mutual consent should we drop.
Its not his fault but we don't have the luxury for him to struggle in the way Powell did until he got his own players in though.
Jones will have to turn the current squad around to secure us staying up.
That squad that Powell took over was awful and how we’re lower in the league now I have no idea. Has to be down to management or the league was shocking back then.

He won't be in the dugout as far as I know.. He will start in the role officially on Monday.
I hope Jones finds a role for him. He’s the sort we used to build this club on.
And a few months later they will take the last train to the coast (proper Charlton 😃)
Hopefully, we could do with some divine intervention...🤷♂️

I mean, what could possibly go wrong?!

Hopefully Fleming hands things over with an additional three points on the board though.
Reckon it best to move on from his faith, whatever it may be.
